The case will be heard in front of Hudson County Superior Court Judge Frederick Theemling Jr. next week, with Fields being represented by James Lisa.

Assistant Prosecutor Najma Rana will represent the state against Fields.

Authorities say that on Sept. 3, 2010, Fields entered a Kennedy Boulevard home through the window armed with a knife and sexually assaulted a woman. Fields is also accused of entering a Bramhall Avenue home through a back door, armed with a fork, and sexually assaulting another woman on Sept. 24, 2010.

Witness accounts and forensic evidence collected at the two scenes led to the identification of Fields after the second attack, authorities say. Fields was eventually captured at a Brooklyn homeless shelter, where he was found hiding in a closet.
